Did you manage to get out and about whilst the sun shone? ... that's for us in the UK.... the sight of the sun is rare indeed... the sad thing is we Brits love it!!! any excuse to to be out and about or just AL Fresco meals/picnics. Ooh heck I'm getting carried away, it wasn't that warm.... I can dream!

I layered up the nest, then added some tiny little seeds that were in a nature type craft pack that I found ,ages ago in a charity shop. I coloured them with acrylic paint.. blue and whiet mixed. I put the paint into a jam jar lid ( I often use lids of various sizes and origins for glue, paint etc... very handy when you only need a tiny amount) I rolled the seeds in the paint with my fingers. I think they look more authentic with some of the base colour showing through... authentic! who am I kidding! I also added white feathers.
I shaped the eggs and added a broken Star Anise from the same pack as the "eggs"
I like the fact that you can see the shiny seeds inside
Take a look at the DT's inspirational art .... see you soon, I hope
:o)

A really gorgeous vintage style card Suzi. The layers look lovely and the eggs you made very realistic. Lovely embellishing too and the star anise made me smile as I had to trawl about 4 supermarkets before I finally found some (making pilau rice)!!!
Sorry to have not visited for ages - last week was a blur!
Hugs, Fliss xx

Absolutely stunning, Suzi! I ADORE that nest--the eggs are just brilliant! Beautiful work! :) HUGS!!!
What a stunner Sue - it's like a whole nature table in a card! I love the nest with those exotic eggs, the bright splash of colour of the birds and berries, the twine - oh and every little detail! Vicky x
Very beautiful card Suzi!! Thank-you for those yummy tips along the way. Nicola x
Another gorgeous card Sue! I love your teensy eggs in their nest and that bird image is stunning. Beautifully balanced design.
